What owners wrote
Impact was on the mazda driver's side in front of the wheel and into the car- made a left hand turn did not see the approaching vehicle traveling 50 MPH and hit the rear of vehicle. That vehicle flipped over and into the snowbank over 4 lanes. Airbags in the mazda did not deploy. Concerned as the purchase of the vehicle was for safety.
The car will not completely shut off when it is set to park and the push button is pushed for shut off.the electrical components stay on and I have to move the shifter to drive then park again about 5 times before it actually shuts down.
